Vaude Aquarius 6+3

Vaude’s Aquarius Backpack is a lightweight pack made of eco-friendly bluesign® fabrics. It has 6L of cargo capacity with an extra 3L available if not using the included Aquarius 2.0 hydration system. It’s ideal for hard-line riders out on less gear-intensive rides and races.

Optimum Ventilation

The F.L.A.S.H. shoulder strap adjustment has two pull loops to precisely adjust the length of the shoulder straps quickly and comfortably while the Aeroflex suspension system keeps the fully extended hydration reservoir at a comfortable distance from your back, allowing air to move freely for optimum ventilation.

This Aquarius backpack features holders for keys, bike pump and helmet, an organiser in the front compartment and an opening for the hydration system tube. There are also side mesh pockets for storing shoes or water bottles for extra hydration and a raincover to fully protect the backpack from the rain.

Technologies:

Aeroflex: This is best suited for hiking and short trekking tours – i.e. for activities in which less gear needs to be transported and the back needs maximum ventilation. The patented suspension system creates a clearance between the backpack and the mesh panel so air can circulate freely. This open space allows for ideal 3-way airflow of the back. An ultralight spring steel frame provides the tension for the mesh panel with the aid of a clamp tensioner. This allows the pack to retain its form and maintains the panel’s tension even when the pack is fully loaded.

F.L.A.S.H. NT: This system has two pull loops that allow you to precisely adjust the length of the shoulder straps quickly and comfortably. A pull system at the point where the shoulder straps exit the pack lets you adjust the individual length of the shoulder straps for a custom-fit comfort. F.L.A.S.H. NT is used in conjunction with the Anatomic NT and Ergonomic suspension systems.
